Gretsch Guitars - Tech Tips - Restringing Your Locking Tuner Equipped Gretsch

[Michael55443]

Nice hat. Nice tattoos. Nice metal coming out of your face everywhere. Geesh. You're such a rockin' rebel, aren't ya? Can anyone say stereotype?

[HeynesProductions]

This is a video on how to restring the guitar, it's not about how the dude looks. Why bring it up, let alone tease him for it? Are you that pathetic? I mean, a astronaut/brain surgeon from Munchkin Land should know better than to bully people on the internet. For shame!

[Michael55443]

@HeynesProductions Sorry, he's asking for it. Begging, in fact.

[HeynesProductions]

@Michael55443

He's just standing there talking, how could you possibly be provoked by that?

[Michael55443]

@HeynesProductions Provoked is too strong a word. I'm sort of hard on humanity and its ways. When a guy like this takes the time to make himself unattractive to the point of being stared at, I feel he opens himself up to ridicule. If you don't want to attract attention, stop waving your arm around. I'm just accommodating him. He seems to cry out for attention, so I gave him some. Besides, his "look" is so stereotypical musician that I HAD to make fun of him.

@Michael55443

It's 2011, not 1950, piercings and tattoos are a common thing now a days. If you still think they're so rare that you need to stare then you're probably living under a rock. And he's not "waving his arm around", he's just talking about the guitar. His face is in the video for like 10 seconds, and you're acting like he's running naked through town. If you're so hard on humanity and it's ways then you should be hard on yourself for being such an ass towards your fellow man. Hater!

@Killroy1224 the lock will hold it in place, with your strings having such little slack, your tuning is going to decrease/increase dramatically just from the slightest turn on your machine head, so I'm guessing it would be fine.

[lucasthematador2801]

i ve bought a set of these tuners, but i do have a problem with mi gauge, it doesnt fit, and they are 11's... what can i do?

[Electry257]

Thanks

[Electry257]

What Guitar is that? I know that it's not a Gretsch G6120 Chet Atkins Guitar Blue.

[TnTKid54]

@Electry257 this must be a Setzer Hot Rod model

[virtuex10]

Thats awesome... I'm getting these tuners for my guitar? would I need specific ones for a tremolo system/ reverse headstock type guitar?

[FenderrMann]

haha, so much easier than a strat.

[rapidtranq]

when u remove your old strings...do you 1st loosen the Sperzels before detuning the tuning heads?

[MichaelD8393]

@rapidtranq yes you do

[gordorich1025]

@rapidtranq

actually if you do that it'll shoot right at you (had a whip-like mark on my face) DETUNE THEN Loosen

[litmus101]

Is it me or does the Sperzel rotate when he tightens the string down at 0:53

[mindseye2007]

Greatly appreciated!

[Pledian]

man that's genius with the string clamps

[carol689]

O_o

[TheSchoolsux345]

wow thats easy

[TeleBandit]

A Gretsch to drop B? Or a guitar with locking tuners?

[alexandjohn2]

the tuners on the back is a good call

[godlikecharacta]

do you have to screw these on to the guitar or are they like steinberger gearless tuner where you just place them on the guitar no screws needed?

[EdMuirton]

Great help man! Fabulous video! Cheers!
